Abstract

L'invention concerne des procédés et des appareils de codage et de décodage, ainsi qu'un dispositif. Le procédé de codage comprend les étapes consistant à : obtenir K bits à coder (S301), K étant un nombre entier positif ; déterminer une première matrice de génération, la première matrice de génération comprenant au moins deux sous-blocs distribués selon une relation de position prédéfinie, les sous-blocs comprenant de multiples noyaux de matrice de génération (S302) ; générer une seconde matrice de génération selon la première matrice de génération, la seconde matrice de génération comprenant des sous-blocs T, une relation de position entre deux sous-blocs adjacents dans les sous-blocs T étant déterminée selon la relation de position prédéfinie (S303), et T étant un nombre entier positif ; et selon la seconde matrice de génération, réaliser un codage de polarisation sur lesdits K bits pour obtenir des bits codés (S304). Le procédé réduit la complexité du codage et du décodage.
